Sect War Schedule & Daily Reliability
Patch 2.3.4.0 moves Sect Wars to a fixed weekly timetable, begins the eight-week Season 1, aligns every daily Sect system with Starfall's reset, and improves Sect Boss, membership, Ruins, and reward reliability.
Sect Wars
Sect Wars now use a predictable weekly schedule built around the server's most active hours instead of requiring ten players to negotiate availability.
Sect War matchmaking now opens on Sunday and locks pairings at 23:00 UTC.
The five ordered best-of-three battles run every Saturday from 15:00 to 20:00 UTC, with one assigned fighter per hourly slot.
Fighters check in and complete their battle during a 45-minute official session inside their assigned slot.
Selected fighters receive reminders 24 hours before, one hour before, and when their battle slot opens.
Leaders and Deputies can substitute a selected fighter until that fighter's fixed battle slot begins.
A one-sided no-show awards the slot to the fighter who checked in; if neither fighter checks in, the slot ends in a draw.
Sect War is now in Season 1, and each season lasts eight weeks.
Sect Resets & Participation
Daily Sect activity now follows the same 05:00 UTC boundary as the rest of Starfall.
Daily Sect Missions reset during Starfall's daily reset instead of drifting across a separate calendar boundary.
Regular and Premium donation availability resets at 05:00 UTC.
Sect Boss daily attempts and best-damage records reset at 05:00 UTC.
Active Sect War daily attempts reset at 05:00 UTC.
Weekly Sect Missions reset on Monday at 05:00 UTC.
The donation panel now includes a Today's Donors button showing who completed Regular and Premium donations during the current day.
The Sect Boss panel now includes a Today's Attacks button showing each participant's attempts and best damage for the current day.
Sect Bosses
A cleared Sect Boss becomes available again after the next daily reset while preserving weekly progression rules.
After defeating a boss, eligible Sects correctly advance to the next weekly boss instead of repeatedly selecting a cleared tier.
The first clear of each boss tier pays 100% rewards, the second pays 25%, and later clears of that tier pay no additional rewards until the weekly reset.
Sect Boss daily and weekly periods now consistently use Starfall's 05:00 UTC reset boundary.
Sect Membership & Spaces
The recurring Sect sync now removes members who are no longer in the Starfall Discord server.
Leaders and Deputies can remove an absent member by Discord ID or mention even when that player is no longer in the server.
If an absent member was the Sect Leader, leadership passes to an eligible member or the empty Sect disbands.
Sect Leaders and Deputies can create and participate in threads inside their private Sect channel.
The public Sect directory now finds and removes all obsolete managed entries during synchronization.
Ruins, Rewards & Trading
Ruins panels recover more reliably from rapid, repeated, or outdated button presses instead of leaving expeditions stuck.
Ruins controls retain the correct exploration state when combat buffs or Discord message updates refresh the panel.
Guardian artwork remains attached while a Ruins panel refreshes.
Battle Pass Gold and Stellar Dust rewards immediately update an actively loaded character's balance.
Innate Qi Flames and temporary Conpill Flames are soulbound and can no longer be transferred or sold.
